Pain In The Right Leg. Frequent Falls To To Dragging Of Leg. Treatment?

I need dr. Neat Nguyen's phone number. Is he a good dr? I am disabled and in a lot of pain 24/7. I have kaiser and Medicare but Kaiser has not helped me at all!! I can barely put any weight on my right leg and all kaiser says is that there is nothing that surgically that can be done. I am only 56 years old and I just can't handle being in so much pain all the time. My quality of life has really gotten worse within the last couple months and I have fallen quite a few times because my right leg drags. Dr. Nguyen is located in Gresham OR and is affiliated w/Portland Adventist Hospital and has a 4 star rating. Who would you recommend that I go too. I am going to try out the Oregon Medical Marijuana plan to see if that helps and kaiser will not sign the attending physician form because it' against their rules so I need to find a doctor that doesn't have a problem with signing the for.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The persistent and severe pain in one hip can be due to degenerative changes in the joint or a ligament tear. An MRI scan of the hip joint is necessary to find out the exact cause of such symptoms. The line of treatment will depend on the diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
